Installation overview
To install and set up a CAT 5 receiver and the associated CAT 5
transmitter(s) for operation, perform the following steps:
1
Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the
video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the
transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).
2
For component, S-video, or composite video, ensure that
the internal jumpers are in the correct position (all except
CAT 5 R AV). See Jumpers in this chapter.
3
Mount the receiver in a rack (CAT 5 R BNC A or
CAT 5 R BNC AV only), under a desk or podium, in a desk
or table, or on a projector bracket. See the instructions that
accompanied the mounting kit for specific information.
4
Connect the cable(s) between the CAT 5 transmitter(s) and
the receiver. See Transmitted signal cabling in this chapter
and refer to the CAT 5 Transmitter Family User’s Manual,
part #68-546-01.
5
Connect the output cables. See Output cabling in this
chapter.
6
Configure the CAT 5 transmitter(s). Refer to the CAT 5
Transmitter Family User’s Manual, part #68-546-01.
7
Connect power cords to the CAT 5 receiver, the CAT 5
transmitter, and turn on the video source(s) and the
output display(s).
All CAT 5 transmitters include a 15V external power
supply. The transmitters also receive power from the
associated Extron CAT 5 receiver(s) via the CAT 5 cable.
Extron recommends using the local power supply;
however the power supply may not be necessary in some
applications. Use the following guidelines:
• The CAT 5 T 15HD A, CAT 5 T 15HD AV, and
CAT 5 T BNC may not require a local power supply
for cable lengths of 300 feet or less.
• The CAT 5 T AV may not require a local power
supply for cable lengths of 800 feet or less.
• The CAT 5 T BNC DA4 always requires the local
power supply.
If problems are encountered, use the local power supply.
8
Adjust the picture controls on the front panel of the
transmitter(s) and receiver. See Front Panel Controls and
2-2
Indicators in this chapter and refer to the CAT 5 Transmitter
Family User’s Manual, part #68-546-01.
Jumpers
The RGB video receivers can be configured to receive
component video, S-video, or composite video.
The receivers are factory configured for RGB video. To
receive any other type of video, reconfigure the jumpers.
1. Remove the three screws on each side and the two screws
on top of the cover (figure 2-1).
